“subsidies are merely a way to force taxpayers to prop up industries that cannot compete economically in the free market.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“humanity’s demand for energy is so large–and increasing–that the only way to meet most of that demand is with fossil fuels.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“The idea that any state of balance in nature is a preferred one is philosophical or religious, not scientific.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“ocean acidification, like anthropogenic global warming, will also end up being a false alarm.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“it is assumed that the flows of carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere have been in equilibrium for thousands of years, until humans came along and upset the system.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“how much extra CO2 shows up at Mauna Loa each year,”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“Why do some environmentalists insist on giving greater rights to trees than to humans? The issue is not one of science, but of religion.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“CARBON DIOXIDE IS necessary for photosynthesis, and thus for life on Earth.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“Maybe we can even ponder the unthinkable: what if more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere turns out to be a good thing for life on Earth?”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“The popular opinion that government-funded research is unbiased must be considered quite naïve.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“The IPCC leadership has purposely avoided what is a fundamental tenet of scientific investigation: testing alternative hypotheses.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“the PDO by itself can potentially explain most of what is popularly called global warming.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“the IPCC was formed for largely political reasons, not scientific.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“People see with their own eyes the power and complexities of weather on a daily basis. If such things can be appreciated by the public, why do the climate experts find them so difficult to accept?”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“climate is average weather, and if you don’t understand what controls variations in weather then you won’t be able to understand all the potential sources of climate change.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“The IPCC claims that global warming or global cooling will occur only in response to an energy imbalance imposed on the system “externally.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“all this evidence indicates that the climate models are too sensitive, which is why they predict so much global warming for the future.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“We now have peer-reviewed and published evidence of decreases in cloud cover causing warmer temperatures,”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“By ignoring natural climate variability, they “prove” that there is no need for natural climate variability to explain global warming”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“natural cloud fluctuations in the climate system will cause a bias in the diagnosed feedback in the direction of positive feedback, thus giving the illusion of an overly sensitive climate system.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

“Climate researchers have simply disregarded the effect that natural cloud variations in the climate system have on their interpretation of feedbacks.”
― Roy W. Spencer, The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists
